Hi, how do I click on the PageView and make it auto load through the whole list of image widgets?

Amazing, thank you!!

It wasn't added to the samples (I assume Flutter's examples directory)?

Love your design and it's working great...
except when I nest it in a parent pageview I can't navigate out from first or last pages. (I can from middle pages). Makes it kind of useless in that environment. Any suggestions?

I want to move to next screen on button tap instead of swipe. For this, I disabled physics: NeverScrollableScrollPhysics inside PageView.builder, but this leads to dots indicator not showing up on other screens. It would be great if you could let me know how do I achieve page transition on button tap and also have dots indicator show up and highlight correct dot according to current page. @collinjackson

Dot indicator zoom is not working during pageview infinite scroll. Suppose, if I have 3 items in the list and when it scrolls to page 4 (which basically will show page 1) dot indicator is not working. Any workarounds?

Also need an answer here.

How to rotate DOTS to VERTICAL (180º degrees) ?? Thanks!

Is there a way to hide the dots when the keyboard is up? the dots render on top of the keyboard and it looks awful.

Thank you for your great word!

Thank you for the great example!

One small issue I saw was that the dots seem to move while animating. I believe they're moving because the height of the container is changing as the dots are animating smaller/larger. I solved this by setting an explicit height on the dot container:

return new Container(
  width: _kDotSpacing,
  height: _kDotSize * _kMaxZoom,
  ...
)

I also played around with animating the opacity of the dots and this small change enabled that:

child: Material(
  color: Color.fromRGBO(color.red, color.green, color.blue, max(selectedness, 0.5)),
  ...
)

You should add itemCount to PageView.builder.

new PageView.builder( itemCount: _pages.length, physics: new AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(),

Thanks for the great example!
Was having null safety issues, which I fixed by adding the required modifier before the following parameters:

DotsIndicator({
    required this.controller,
    required this.itemCount,
    required this.onPageSelected,
    this.color: Colors.white,
  }) : super(listenable: controller);
